that is a very handsome machine, love the color, red is my favourite - I am quite a fan of the 130TC, very fast car, and yours is a beautiful example. I am impressed by your upgrade to the brakes which were a terrible weak point on the original. I'd apprecaite seeing some photos of the brake mods when you get time.
I know the engines very well, but never owned the car, however I did have custody of one belonging to my friend marine engineer Mark Wilson for 6 months a couple of years back, it had a GC fast road engine with gasflowed head an 45 carbs and was very noisy and fast - and tremendous fun.
I always wanted to do an engine for a full race version, like the works Ritmo. That is a vehicle I would like to see featured on the site.
Interesting with the brakes, is 2 things, have you taken the brake calipers and discs from the integrale and moved it across? If so, you could actually fit the 4 pot brembo capilers from the integrale EVO 1 / 2 with 305mm discs from the coupe 20vt
very nice car! now that i see it without the side skirds i'm thinking the same... :D my car is from jan84 and it's black a friend of mine it's red too and i really like it in red! i'd like to see more fotos from the front brake conversion....
